"Best plastic surgeon in the area! After exploring several options, I chose Dr. Foley because he was very qualified and knowledgeable. He was caring, professional and did a great job. He talked me through the procedure step by step. His staff was amazing and caring as well. He made sure I was pain free the entire time and put me at ease. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking plastic surgery."

"I recently had reconstructive surgery (for the 2nd time) following treatment for breast cancer. Dr. Foley did an absolutely amazing job! I am beyond thrilled with the outcome, he did exactly everything he said he was going to do. My 1st surgery (performed by another doctor) resulted in deformities, constant discomfort and I was very unhappy. I would definitely refer Dr. Foley for any type of breast surgery (I had an implant and a breast reduction) I'm really impressed, he did an excellent job!"

"Dr. Foley and his crew are the best. They all genuinely care and want the best for each of their patients. Any breast cancer reconstruction patient will tell you that it's a long road back to feeling good in your own skin again. However, it IS possible, and Dr. Foley, with his gentle and kind nature, will be with you every step of the way. Thank you.....for everything!"

Best Candidates

You are a great candidate for mole removal surgery if you are in good health and:

Have one or more moles on your body

Wish to remove your moles

Feel embarrassed by your moles

Constantly try to hide your moles

Avoid taking pictures

What To Expect

Excision and shaving are the two most common techniques used to remove moles. During excision, the mole will be surgical removed or cut, but this may require stitches that leave a small scar. The shave method utilizes a scalpel to scrape or cut the mole and does not require stitches. Treatment methods will be dependent on the depth, location, and number of moles you have. During your consultation, the surgeon will discuss the best and most optimal course of treatment. The overall goal is to safely remove moles from unwanted areas to create a smooth, clear appearance. The length of the procedure is determined by your condition, but commonly takes 30 – 60 minutes.

Other Considerations

Before undergoing mole removal surgery, you should consult with your doctor on the best methods for treatment. Although excision eliminates unsightly moles, it may leave behind a scar that is sometimes larger than the mole. Most patients receive scar revision surgery to reduce the appearance of mole scarring. Typically, patients prefer the shave method because it removes raised moles without scaring but it could leave behind the pigmented appearance of a mole. It’s important to inform yourself about both procedure options and to have realistic expectations. Mole removal surgery does not prevent future moles from occurring or moles that have been removed from potentially reoccurring.
